Lyons founded Aspen in 2004, and helped create electronic flight displays for general aviation. He came to Albuquerque to work for Eclipse Aviation.

“I am excited by the opportunities and challenges ahead of us,” Lyons said of his new role.

Aspen is one of the most well-known companies in the local aviation sector, and last year it received more than $12 million in venture capital to continue developing its displays.

Avionyx, based in Costa Rica, is a private engineering services company.

Larry Allgood, Avionyx Founder and CEO, said in a news release, “The experience he gained taking Aspen Avionics from concept to market leader makes him ideally suited to help expand our market presence and strengthen our brand. Peter’s deep business and technical understanding of the avionics industry and the avionics development and certification lifecycles will help us better serve our customers and add more value to their development efforts.”
